Review ~ The Jeweler by Beck Anderson and Omnific Publishing

Fender Barnes profits from an institution he
doesn’t believe in: marriage. He’s a talented designer, but a reluctant jewelry
store owner, thanks to his pop’s retirement. He’s cynical, he’s jaded, he’s not
entirely certain about the concept of love, but he’s happy to sell an eager
young guy an engagement ring for his fiancée to be—until moments after the
transaction when that eager guy is hit by a car and killed, and Fender’s
conscience pays a rare visit.He retrieves the ring and decides to find the
woman his customer intended to marry. That woman turns out to be Ginger
Stevens, twenty-something ski instructor, who—despite being full of guilt and
self-doubt after the death of her boyfriend—is someone Fender finds he quite
enjoys being around. He’s smitten.

Which is all well and good, except that after
he meets her, Fender can’t do it. Though it’s right there in his pocket, he
can’t tell her about the ring. Instead, he embarks on a long, ridiculous quest
to find a way to tell her the truth he knows she deserves. Aided by advice from
Pop and the antics of his best friend Sam, Fender tries desperately to juggle
his budding romance with the reality he knows could ruin it.Will he find love or foul it up? Can Ginger
move out of the past to embrace what the future has to offer? Meet this
unlikely pair in Beck Anderson’s heartfelt and fabulously funny second novel,
The Jeweler.

About the AuthorBeck Anderson loves to write about love
and its power to heal and grow people past their many imperfections. She is a
firm believer in the phrase "mistakes are for learning" and uses it
frequently to guide her in writing life and real life.Beck balances (clumsily at best) writing
novels and screenplays, working full-time as an educator, mothering two
pre-teen males, loving one post-40 husband, and making time to walk the
foothills of Boise, Idaho, with Stefano DiMera Delfino Anderson, the suavest
Chihuahua north of the border.Website|Facebook|Twitter|Pinterest|Goodreads

My Thoughts:

This book was witty, comical, and entertaining with a cynical jeweler named Fender as the main character.

Fender was good at designing jewelry but never really liked the selling part. He doesn't really buy the marriage thing and can't understand why a man would want to spend so much on a woman that will just want to exchange the ring or sell it when the relationship fizzles out.

The story begins when Fender sells Brad an engagement ring for his girl. Brad leaves and gets hit by a car......Fender gets advice about what to do and decides to give the girlfriend the ring. Only after meeting Ginger, he can't bring himself to do it. I found this one to be different and charming. I enjoyed the quirky characters and the laughter that they brought forth from me.I would have liked more steam but it was enjoyable without it.I received an ecopy in exchange for my honest opinion.
